Photographers Edie Fogel and Misti Layne came together to create this blog and share their passion for film based photography. As we brain stormed about possible names for the site we came up with Film Impressions. The dictionary defines impressions as: an idea, feeling, or opinion about something or someone. Since the site would be a place for various photographers to come together, it seemed appropriate to have a name that honored their unique vision. During the process of making a photograph, that moment a photographer presses the button, becomes the defining moment. These moments become our impressions of how we see or interpret the world. It seemed to be indeed a great title choice for this blog dedicated to such a beautiful craft, film based photography and to the photographers who choose film as their medium. We hope this site will inspire you.

Blogs About Film

Film is alive and people are talking about it. I recently came across two great blogs written by photographers who use film.

The first one I came across was Keep Film Alive blog by photographer Tanja Lippert. Tanja interviews various photographers who talk about their background with film, their experiences and share a little about themselves and why thy love film.


The second one is Richard Isreal's blog I Love Film. It is a great resource for getting inspired and learning about various types of film, printing techniques and alternative processes.
They both offer great info and insights and definitely worth adding to your list of good reads.
